Length of Jesus' Ministry?
dave:
For me, "The importance of his ministry would be.." He was, He is, and He will be.
Dave in Tenn:
No doubt books have been written on the subject. Thankfully, I haven't read any of them. :D
If I was telling a story of my time on the road opening retail stores, I could tell it chronologically without mentioning where I was and what I was doing every Passover. To add all that detail makes it something other than a story of my time on the road, and more a diary of passovers. That's the way I see the Gospels.
It might or might not be helpful to people raised in the Jewish tradition. It might even be factual that His ministry lasted one year. But the Spirit of God made no mistake in inspiring the Scripture the way He did. Unless there is a translation error, an addition or an omission, then what we have is what we are intended to have. What's mind-boggling is that we also have the additions, omissions, and translation errors by His will.
That's kind of a sideways answer at best. Oh well. :D
Nutman:
Numbers have to make sense to me. Its my personality.
I don't expect the time Jesus ministered to effect someones salvation, that I don't think is required. The time may not effect everyone, but if its 1 peice of data that can help someone towards salvation, why not figure out to the best that we can?

The Ministry of Jesus begins Gen 1:1 ~ continues to Rev 22:21 and is ongoing until now ~ :)
One Love:
AMEN! ARC.
